The Netflix Queue plugin fetches Netflix queue information as RSS data from the Netflix website, parses each movie’s information, and presents that information on the web. Individual functions calls are available for each of those abilities, allowing you flexibility in how they’re used. HTML presentation logic is also templated, allowing you to chose what data shows up about a movie, and what other text is mixed in with it.

To install, simply download or copy & paste the script to your wordpress plugins directory and then activate it in the plugins admin panel. Click the installation instructions in the plugin’s description for more installation details.
